Julz A

In Squeeze Rock, his solo CD debut, Julz A uses the accordion as a central figure in the rock riffs of his songs. His sound is fundamentally alternative rock music with a whole spectrum of influences. Julz A pushes the envelope in how melodic guitar-driven music alters the way we listen to hip-hop and rapping, with a musical laboratory of raw accordion polyphony. The album’s personnel is simple, but the use of accordion pushes the CD’s eclectic sound into the same category as Beck, Outkast, early De La Soul and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
